J, B, Walmart, Book of Mormon Challenge



Hey everyone,

We had another pretty good week here in Lafayette. We had a good lesson with our investigator J this week where we taught him the first half of the plan of salvation. It is super awesome to teach him because all of his own knowledge about the scriptures and all his personal opinions that he has formed through study seem to coincide with what we teach him. It always seems like when we teach him a principle, he will tell us a story or a scripture from the Bible that supports what we say. It is awesome. He has also been reading the Book of Mormon and has enjoyed what he has learned so far.

The sad news from this week is that B moved out of our area and into the Texas mission, we are sending his information over to the Elders serving there, so we hope that he continues to get visits from missionaries, and that he continues to progress. We were really sad to see him go though.

We also had a fun experience with Walmart this week. We were walking through the  parking lot after shopping for a bit, and we have this random red truck honk at us.  We just assumed it was cuz we were in their way; so we moved to the side of the lane and started to put our groceries in the car. Then this lady pulls up next to us and asked us what we do and so we told her we were missionaries. She pretty much asked us to invite her to church and asked for our number so we could send her the address of the church, and maybe come teach her! It was super cool and we are going to for sure try to meet with her this week.

Also in my mission we have been doing a 90 day Book of Mormon challenge where we need to go through the whole book and highlight all the passages that talk about the 5 basic principles in the gospel of Jesus Christ (faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the holy ghost, endure to the end) It has been super awesome! I have been amazed especially with the number of times having faith in Christ is mentioned in that book. It is a really big testimony that the Book of Mormon really is here to help us draw closer to him and know that we really can rely on him in all the hard time of our lives. 

I hope y’all have an awesome week!!
